And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A friend in the mining industry told me the line of sight out the right side is 200 feet to see the ground. Inside that is complete blind spot, where many accidents happen.
I was on my bosses list and got to remove the radio out of a shifters pickup that had one of these sitting on top of it. He had stopped to talk on said radio when the truck started up the back. He bailed out the passenger side window just in time to avoid being hurt. I had a heck of a time getting the radio out from behind the seat and the head and mike setup and wiring pulled out.
And that's not even the biggest dump truck.
ReplyDeleteJust dump it here.

ReplyDeleteMight be a diesel shortage coming. Good luck making equipment like that run on batteries.
ReplyDeleteThe rock removers extending from the bed to down in between the duals are interesting. I've never seen something like that before. Good idea.

ReplyDeleteKind of interesting that the warning beacons are under the dump.
ReplyDeleteNobody could see them on top.
